Grey Roots Museum and Archives | Step into the past and explore the rich history of Grey County, from immersive exhibits to hands-on heritage experiences.

Living Histories: Grey County

Photographs have the rare ability to make time visible - turning ordinary moments into enduring records of who we’ve been.

Living Histories: Grey County brings together powerful images of Grey County, revealing lives lived on farms and in growing towns, through changing seasons and across time. As Guest Curator Richard Thomas notes, “photographs are more than images - they are proof that someone was here.”
